”We Are the Revolution”, after Joseph Beuys – Making of: Walking in Krasny Bor forest, Karelia, Russia

Silomäki Jari

In the video, the artist visits the scenes for the major political murders of the 20th century and takes as many steps as there were victims in each tragedy. The video depicts the inevitable human loneliness before significant events and comments on the rhetoric emerged from the industrial revolution: are the quantity and the size only factors that can contribute to a fact? The long walk starts in Russia. The artist is walking on the memorial for the victims of Stalin’s persecutions in the Krasny Bor forest, Karelia, Russia. One step for each victim lying in the mass grave. The artist aims at walking a significant part of the victims of Stalin’s persecution.
